blister on LO penis?

Hello- so background: we cloth diaper, and strip regularly. he gets nudey time a plenty. His pee tested at a bad Ph level after we had been seeing what looked as if his skin was burned- it was...by his pee- i posted about this. So we started using fleece liners to keep him dry and all has been pretty well until the end of August. He developed a small sore spot-looked like burn on his scrotum, after we had been less diligent with adding the liners- I have not been able to get it fully healed. I was putting diaper rash cream & coconut oil on that spot- which then sort of diverted the pee away from his scrotum and I think made it stay near his actual penis. So this week another sore spot started on his penis- so I started putting the diaper rash cream, coconut oil and a little anti fungal (just in case it was yeast related). Today i open his diaper after daycare and the penis sore spot now looks like its a blister? Anyone have a diaper issue turn into a blister? We saw the Dr. last saturday and she just said keep the nudey time and use diaper rash cream.

hmmm that's really strange, poor baby. Could he be allergic to something? Are you using wipes or just a washcloth with water to wipe him? I'm sorry I don't have any advice but I feel bad for your lo :-(

If I were you I'd go disposable for a few weeks until it COMPLETELY clears and then switch back and see if it returns. To me it sounds like his skin might be reacting to the cloth. I don't CD (cycle day) but my friend does and her LO (little one) is always getting nasty diaper rash because of all the moisture.
